1st Real Attempt to Scroll!

[Canuck]

Well here goes!!!

I decided to pull out the Tradesman scroll saw lol: :lol: ) and give scroll work a shot. I saw a plan for a plant stand that was supported with six angel figure's. Looked simple enough for my first shot at the art. (Thanks Cathy, for both your inspiration as well as sharing your sanding techniques.:eusa_clap )

Here are a couple of pics before the final sanding and a few coats of Waterlox.

(As I look at the picture, I see that I have quite a bit of glue "squeeze-out" that I need to take of :BangHead: .)

Oh well! Made for the LOML's birthday. Just need to finish it and find a decent plant to set in it and it should be good to go.

May need to try to move on to something a little more challenging.

Looks like a neat project - good start on the scroll saw!

Nice work! Nothing wrong with that piece. :eusa_clap

I like that, get that squeeze out and you'll be good. How did you shape the "faces" of the angels, they look perfectly uniform :eusa_clap

I cheated, Dave! Bought a package of wooden 1/2 wren eggs at the hobby store!

Thanks for the comments!

Looks great! Gives me inspiration to try my hand at it, now that I have a scroll saw. Even though it is still in the box in the dining room :slap: .

hmmmm. :eusa_thin what brand of scroll saw hasn't made it out of its box in your dining room?

You didn't cheat, you utilized your resources excellently. I would have never thought of something like that :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

It's a Craftsman 18". LOML got it for me a couple of weeks ago.

Wayne, it looks pretty crafty to me :eusa_clap
I'm sure LOYL will be proud.

Scroll on,

Wayne,

That looks pretty cool to me. I'd like to give scrolling a shot someday!

LOYL will be pleased.
